The 2015 fantasy harem series World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman has arrived on Crunchyroll and Hulu, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The 12-episode run follows a male protagonist who discovers he was reincarnated with a past life as a powerful sorcerer, only to find himself in a school filled with girls who also have past lives, leading to a distinct focus on its 'female harem' elements.
Produced by Diomedéa, the studio behind The Irregular at Magic High School and Aria the Scarlet Ammo AA, World Break adapts the light novel series of the same name. It features a male lead who wields both a sword and magic, navigating a school setting where female classmates with past lives as legendary heroes and villains form his entourage.
While holding a 6.73 on MyAnimeList, the series offers a straightforward take on the reincarnation and harem genres. Its appeal lies in its fast-paced action sequences and the dynamic between the protagonist and his various female companions, all set against a backdrop of magical combat and school life.
